CREATE A BOARD

Measuring will help you estimate how much flooring you’ll need to order and how much it will cost. To get a basic idea of the amount of flooring you’ll need, use a standard tape measure to measure the length and width of your room and write down the measurements. Sometimes it helps to draw a simple diagram of the room if you’re dealing with various lengths and widths. If you want a more accurate measurement or are dealing with more than one room, consider contacting an expert from your local Carpet One Floor & Home store for an in-home measurement.
